To add more complexity to this decision, you want the BF on the outbound, not the return. IMO, if you could confirm BF out and coach return, I would answer differently than if presented with the situation you describe. Outbound is the night flight, and if you're going to tough that out in coach, the return is a piece of cake in Y.

Different strokes. I would rather be on the night flight in coach, and enjoy the BF on the return, when I'm more likely to be awake for the entire flight.
That being said, I agree with paying the $360 each. Is it worth $1000 for 7 hrs in BF? Use the money instead to enjoy more things, or stay at better hotels, on the trip.
